The motion

That the Parliament supports the 1GOAL campaign, which aims to encourage world leaders to ensure the provision of education for 72 million children by 2015 and to meet the UN Millennium Development Goal to end poverty; congratulates the pupils and staff of Braidhurst High School in Motherwell for supporting the 1GOAL campaign to kick-start the 2010 World Cup in South Africa; praises other pupils across Scotland who have supported the campaign; applauds the millions of people worldwide who have already signed up, and believes that, after the first football World Cup to be held in Africa is over, backs should not be turned on the continent but instead efforts redoubled to ensure that every child can go to school, in Africa and elsewhere in the world.
